Though the cock-eyed optimist in me has encountered countless reasons to develop into an optimistic realist, insight into deeper truth suggests that my evolution toward clarifying that change for the better is still taking two steps forward, one back. I guess it makes sense to suggest that it feels utterly unnatural for the Pollyanna portion of my think tank to give up on any long range goal that would make my spirit soar. So, each time the realistic portion of my think tank faces disappointment after I've consciously set my ego aside in order to expand my sense of objectivity while confronting perceptions or needs that conflict with my own, I wonder if my think tank ducks into denial where my addiction to hope resets my connection to creativity, whereby a sure fire plan of action that's bound to achieve positive results pops out of my mind ...
The reason I wonder if today's train of thought is on the right track is because recent experiences, ending in the kind of disappointment that hints at futility, have been deepening my sense of insight into this sad fact of life: No amount of loving objectivity on my part has the power to penetrate a mental block, based in fear, in another person's head.
Now, having said that, please don't assume that Pollyanna has exited, stage left
In truth, her attitude of resilient fortitude proves to be
The part of my whole that I value most of all
And having set a high value on my relationship with
And having set a high value on my relationship with
This positively focused portion of my think tank, which
Offers others the benefit of the doubt
I'll sleep on today's quest for insight into
Clarity in hopes that upon awakening, tomorrow
A string of insights into deeper truth
May pop out of my inquisitive mind ...
